When I Had You

I have always looked into your eyes,
But never said what I saw in them,
You have always been a part of my life,
And to me, there was nothing special about what we had then,

You taught me everything I know,
You were ma best friend,
You are like family,
One to whom I am bound till the end,

Woman I have been ungrateful,
And you, certainly unappreciated,
I have sinned against you,
But I wish for you everyday now that we are separated,

I want you back,
I want your love,
I walked out the door,
But now, I want your touch,

I never said it,
But I love you,
I never showed it,
But I care,

It was no big deal,
But you were the best,
I was so stupid,
I left you and settled for less,

For me, I know you cry everyday,
And at night, your eyes cannot stop to weep,
But i am the Judas here,
So dry your eyes, because I do not deserve your tears,

I deserve the pain I feel now,
The loneliness that is ruling my life,
This ocean of sorrow in which I seem to drown,
And this great grief that is in ma heart,

I deserve all the s**t I get now,
But you deserved nothing I fed you,
So leave me to work it out on my own,
Because I was never grateful for what I had, When I Had You.

The words and the feeling from this piece are warm, and full of love. I can felt both love and sorrow throughout your writing, however, this particular piece of writing feels and "sounds" more like a song rather than a poem.

I'm no expert on poetry or lyrics, for that matter, but it just seems like these are stanza's (song lyric paragraphs) rather than lines of poetry.

It is lovely thought... :) Keep writing!
